China Coronavirus

Fermgael I would agree with you. I was reading a thread on this subject on twitter saying the same thing. Small place so students flock home at weekends. Pretty much anywhere here is easily accessible do that can be done. England is a scale bigger.

What is the reason behind the amount of high cases in Derry and Strabane - must be a reason specific reason?

Blame certainly can't be laid at the GAA's door, that's for sure

The bars were rammed this last 5 weeks, bars were firing out crisps and stew etc to say they were serving food. Very young population too, a lot of house parties

But would Belfast not be worse wirh all the bars and huge number of students at Queen's etc?

They are probably all quarantined at Elms and rest sent home on the 212 every Friday to Derry. A lot of talk about first communion parties. Big young, Catholic, alcohol loving people down here.

Belfast is empty!

The title of this trash "declaration" cracks me up

I know the virus was only officially detected on this island around the end of Feb but being realistic it was probably here in December or before, it has obviously been in existence in China months before it became apparent and its likely a domino effect to each new country it transmits to. By the time testing, tracing and knowledge of the virus, it's probably already embedded there for months

If you don't believe that it started in Wuhan in Dec, then why believe that it began in China at all? If it was around in Europe in say Nov, then there is currently no known origin

Because China was the first noted outbreak. If people are oblivious to it then the place where it first becomes apparent is likely the origin of it.

That theory makes no sense

It makes complete sense, how can you not get that?

The origin of the virus is the most likely place where it will spread and where large numbers will contract it and it first become noticed. There is probably a 2/3 month time lag (maybe longer) though in the virus being in the community and it not being recognised as something we have not seen before.

The virus was around a long time before December. It was recorded in France in December.

A further 902 cases up north.

A further 902 cases up north.

I read on Twitter yesterday that there were 8 ICU beds unoccupied in the north. That's pretty scary to be honest.

Kim Jong Un says not a single person in North Korea has contracted coronavirus, wishes South a fast recovery. 

Good honest man is Kim.

Cases in Derry have almost doubled  last week compared to previous week and almost one fifth of tests are positive.
Mid Ulster coming up fast, Newry and Mourne still increasing but not as quickly.

If they suspect a case they probably shoot the whole town.

We shouldn't mock. We put a guy who was up to his neck in cervical smear scandal in charge of our covid response and laud him as a hero.
